Introduction

As demands for connection from networking devices such as IP phones, IP cameras and access points increase, deployment complexity and cost rise as well. For less cable usage and investment, Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology provides both data connection and electrical power to devices through just one cable.

To fulfill various applications and flexible network deployments in different sectors, ZyXEL offers a complete portfolio including a wide range of Unmanaged, Smart Managed, and Managed PoE switches that accommodate Power Devices (PD) without limitation thanks to the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standard support.

Why ZyXEL PoE Switches?

ZyXEL PoE switches offer high PoE power budget that is almost double which of the competitors, and they support the 802.3at standard to easily fulfill power-hungry PD requirement such as Dome camera, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera and the latest 802.11ac AP.

Additionally, the ZyXEL PoE switches are made with high-quality components to ensure stability and durable connectivity essential to PoE applications such as IP surveillance and more.

Application Diagram

Flexible network deploymentZyXEL’s PoE solution makes it easy for different sectors to deploy powered devices like VoIP phones, wireless APs and IP surveillance cameras in challenging places like ceilings, walls, outdoors, or wherever electrical outlets are not easily available. In addition, the neighboring features of ZyXEL One Network can detect ports used by a neighboring device and display its IP information on the Web GUI of ZyXEL PoE to allow one-click remote control actions via that IP. For example, if there’s a connected PD fails to operate, users can reset device to default or power cycle it remotely from the GUI.
